A photo from our engagement session, summer of 2009, taken my good friend Emily. And yes, I still love him like a fool. And no, I don't miss all that hair.
(It's kind of crazy this September will be nine years for us!)

RJ's "First" First Birthday Party
There was cake...
And presents...
And a messy little birthday girl...
And a good time was had by all!
Her "big" birthday party is this Saturday, but last night was a perfect little warm-up with Papaw and Ging-Ging!

{12 Months}
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RJ!
Today you are one! At exactly 11:22 AM this morning, you hit your milestone birthday and became officially a "one-year-old" - my, how time flies!
At ONE, you are slowly but surely getting the hang of this walking thing down pat. You can easily take up to five steps before plopping back down on your bottom. You still prefer to scoot and crawl most places, as it is definitely your fastest way to get from A to B. You are a lover of food; the only thing we've found you don't particularly care for are strawberries. Other than that, you can and will eat anything and everything!
You love books, especially books about animals. You love dogs above all else but have recently developed a love for the cows behind the house. Playing outside in the grass (and eating rocks) is your favorite thing to do, especially if your big sister is there to play with you!
You have six teeth, a head full of sandy blonde hair and the bluest eyes I've ever seen. You are sweet and loving and temperamental and exhausting. You are fire and ice combined, such a little copy of your daddy!
This first year has been absolutely wonderful, miss Rhealen Jo. I still can't believe it's gone by so fast! I hope today (and this weekend) is full of cake, family, presents and fun for you. Even though you'll never remember this birthday, it's one your loved ones will always cherish!

Sidney's Birth Story
Before I completely forget, I'm writing this down...if only to remind myself years from now how it all happened. How my sweet Sidney Morgan came into my life over four years ago.

Flashback Friday (And Our Big News!)
For today let's get nostalgic and look at some baby pictures of my girls...because I have news! Of the baby kind!
That's right! The big news around these parts is....we're expecting! yet again! for the third time in five years! The biggest surprise from the month of May was definitely learning we're going to be welcoming a new addition to the family come late January. Justin and I were so incredibly shocked initially, beyond nervous to say the least, but we've finally settled in to a comfortable state of excitement!
I'm technically barely pregnant, but I can't stand not to share everything with everyone the second I find out; and besides, with my family and friends, there was no way I was going to keep this thing a secret! I ask that you keep us in your thoughts for the next few weeks (the first trimester is always the scariest to me!) and hopefully I'll breeze through this pregnancy with the same gusto and good times I've had with the last two.
Our little family of four will soon be a not-so-little family of five!
